Hope has been loving her summer vacation in Castleton, Maine with her friends. There’s just one little snag, and her name is Saylor Madigan, the former actress turned writer and podcaster that Hope had a massive crush on when she was younger. Hope’s only goal is to get Saylor to agree to let Hope ghostwrite her memoir. The first time she dares to approach Saylor, things go badly. Very badly. But Hope isn’t the kind of woman who gives up that easily. All Saylor wants to do is hang out in a small town where people don’t care so much who she is, and so far, Castleton has fit the bill. That is, until an adorable woman approaches her in the bar and wants to help Saylor write a memoir, something she absolutely does NOT want to do. Still, Hope is persistent and there’s something about her unfailing optimism that Saylor just can’t get enough of. That attraction lands Saylor in Hope’s bed one night, much to both of their shock. Sex is a complication that neither of them need, but they can’t seem to keep their hands off each other, so they agree not to let themselves get carried away again. That turns out to be a promise that neither of them can keep.
